riiyllodromia testacea sp. n. 



(l'l. 2, fig. li.) 



cT. Pale testaceous. Head rufo-testaceous, vertex not covered by pronotum. 

 Pronotum transversely elliptical, lateral margins broadly hyaline. Tegmina with 

 marginal area very broad, 9 costal veins, the last ramose, anterior ulnar sending 5 

 branches to sutural and apical margins, the latter ramose; numerous transverse 

 venulae between the veins. Wings hyaline, mediastinal vein bifurcate, the loAver branch 

 bi-ramose, 6 costal veins their apices not incrassated, end of radial vein ramose, ulnar 

 vein with 4 branches. Abdomen rufo-testaceous towards apex, supra-anal lamina 

 transverse, posteriorly incrassated, a depression occurs in the posterior edge on either 

 side of the middle line and at the base of these the scent glands open. Sub-genital 

 lamina produced considerably beyond tlie supra-anal lamina, cucuUate at apex which 

 is deeply and narrowly cleft, the flattened styles spring from the posterior niargin; 

 cerci long, testaceous. Front femora with piliform setae only on the anterior margin 

 beneath; all the femora witli genicular spines; formula of apical spines -f, i, i-

The nearest allies of this species appear to be P. laterifera Wlk., P. projnnqua 

 Wlk, P. majuscula Wlk. from the Indo-Malayan and Indo-Australian regions of the 

 World. The remarkable form of the supra-anal lamina of P, testacea is however a 

 sufficient)}^ distinctive character and should render it easier of Identification than is 

 the case with so many of the obscure species of this large genus. 



Gen. Ceratiiioptera Brunner. 



This genus sliould be reserved for those species of Phyllodromiinae characterized 

 by short or reduced tegmina and short or rudimentary wings, the tegmina when 

 reduced are lanceolate, not truncate nor lobiforra, and the wings when present have 

 the ulnar vein bifurcate or simple. In the genus Allacta the wings are well-developed 

 but the ulnar vein is ramose, the median is sometimes absent. The genus Temno- 

 pteryx is characterized — as its name signifies — b}^ the truncate tegmina and rudi- 

 mentary wings. 



The African species of Ceratinoptera may be distinguished as foUows;
